What is RFID?

RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. It is an automatic identification technology whereby digital data encoded in an RFID tag or "smart label" is captured by a reader using radio waves. Put simply, RFID is similar to bar code technology but uses radio waves to capture data from tags, rather than optically scanning the bar codes on a label.

RFID does not require the tag or label to be seen to read its stored data - that's one of the key characteristics of an RFID system.
